Yeah, well that was the plan. (IMG:

But really in as big a thing such as a 38-match league, or the highest-profile European tournament, things don't always are what they seem. I mean, we already are on a backfoot domestically, we have scattered a bunch of points, that can come back and haunt us towards the end. If anything, this means we have little room for error there.
Same goes in the CL, I mean, look what we did manage to do. Take 2 points away from Barcelona in their backyard (at least that's what I think, instead of us scoring a point). But we stil are on a tight rope, as far as securing first position in the group is concerned. (IMG:

It still doesn't change the fact that anything goes, though. We can win both, and still end up as red face a couple of months down the road. We can lose both, and still live long enough to tell the tale in the CL and Serie A. What matters is how we make use of these two matches, despite the result. It's still early days in both our adventures!
